Design is Still the Stronghold
If you are thinking that the importance of Web site design has now reduced in contributing to online presence and high rank, you are highly mistaken. Even today, it is the design that acts as a selling factor, not the platform from where people surf your site. This is evident from the successful designs of the official site of Apple and Pinterest.

Therefore, it makes sense to consider a great design as a part of your internet marketing this year.

Herein, the background visuals on the screen tend to shift slower than those in the foreground for triggering a deception of depth.

Retargeting refers to a way of bringing your ads in front of the target audience once they leave your site without converting.
